Thank you so much to my wonderful audience, who always showed me their greatest love, sending messages of appreciation and support,” she added. “I love you so much, sizwe sikaPhunga noMageba [Zulu clan names], and also a lot of non-Zulu-speaking people who tuned in even when they couldn’t understand a word that was uttered.
